Steps

1Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. (see notes).
2Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until it starts to brown, should take 2 to 3 minutes.
3Add the shallots, garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minuets.
4Add the half and half cream, chicken broth and stir. Bring to a simmer then stir in the uncooked gnocchi. Cook until gnocchi are tender, and sauce has thickened, should take about 4 to 5 minutes, they should also absorb and thicken the sauce.
5Add spinach and fold into the mixture until wilted. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
6Stir in the cheeses, cheese should melt almost immediately.
7Recipe Notes:
8I reserved the oil from the sun dried tomatoes and used that instead of the olive oil for some extra flavor, but olive oil can be used as well.
9Half and half can be found near the milk and cream in the dairy section of your local grocery store. Half and half is a blend of equal parts whole milk and light cream. It averages 10 to 12% of fat.
